NaCl provides Na+ ions that will block negative charge from phosphates on DNA.
Negatively charged phosphates on DNA cause molecules to repel each other. The Na+ ions will form an ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphates on the DNA, neutralizing the negative charges and allowing the DNA molecules to come together

For DNA to precipitate down when ethanol added it needs a higher salt concentration which will allow it to precipitate more accurately, hence this salt is given in form of Na acetate which is the best salt for the purpose or else NaCl
potassium acetate (KAc) is added, which does three things: a. Circular DNA is allowed to renature. Sheared cellular DNA remains denatured as single stranded DNA (ssDNA). b. The ssDNA is precipitated, since large ssDNA molecules are insoluble in high salt. c. Adding sodium acetate to the SDS forms KDS, which is insoluble. This will allow for the easy removal of the SDS from your plasmid DNA.
Cold ethanol or isopropanol is used to precipitate the plasmid DNA, DNA is insoluble in alcohol and clumps or clings together. Centrifuging will cause the precipitate to form a pellet which can be decanted from the unwanted supernatant. Where as if compared with RNA isolation isopropanol is less efficient in precipitating RNA, where in presence of Lithium chloride or ammonium ions can give a good yield
Ethanol is used to precipitate the DNA. I.e. to bring the DNA out of solution. Precipitated DNA is then spun down and re suspended in the appropriate buffer that is suitable for sample storage
Sodium chloride was needed to ensure the proteins in the cell aren't separated from the rest of the solution with the DNA.
Chelating agent
NaCl provides Na+ions which form ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphate of DNA,thus neutralizing the effect of negative ,negative repulsion of DNA and helps the DNA molecules to come closer and compact to simplify our process of DNA isolation...

it is chealeting agent and has great affinity with metal ions and mg- ions present in dnase as a cofactor and responsible for dnase action that degreded DNA hear edta bide with mg- ions and stop the action of dnase.
Tris pH 8.0 NaCl EDTA
Its purpose is to isolate DNA from a protein mixture.
it act as as a cationic detergent for the isolation dna from the given sample
Sucrose performs the function of osmoregulation in the protocol of DNA isolation from blood

TE stands for Tris and EDTA. The Tris buffers the water to prevent acid hydrolysis of the DNA/RNA. The EDTA chelates divalent cations that can assist in the degradation of RNA.
It solubilizes lipids and a lot of proteins to remove them from the DNA.
TE buffer contains EDTA, which is a strong chelating agent. It chelates the Mg2+ ions present in the solution. Since endonucleases use Mg2+ for their activity, degradation is slowed or checked using this buffer. This buffer is also maintained at a pH of 8.0 for the same reason. At this pH, the endonucleases show least activity. All in all, the DNA or RNA sample that we have is safe from getting degraded.
It sequester carbohydrates in the solution
